The Portland daily press., 1887-12-02

Mr.. Morrison has been giving his views on
the prospect of tariff reform in this Congress
to newspaper correspondent. He says the
treasury authorities are engaged in the prep
aration of comprehensive bill upon the
subject Of the tariff and internal revenue.
The bill win probably contain plan OF
internal and customs reductions. This will
undoubtedly be submitted to Congress with
the approval of the administration. Mr.
Morrison has grave doubts whether any bill
which proposes a systematic and SYMMETRY
cal reduction of the tariff can become law.
The House, he believed, after good deal OF
difficulty, would send some sort Of bill to
the Senate. Then the Republicans would
have their opportunity, and they would
make good use of it, When the House bill
got to the Senate, whatever kind of bill it
might be. the Republicans, he thought, would
send 1t back with the ultimatum that the
surplus shall be reduced by the abolition of
the tobacco tax and Of the sugar duty, and
that if the Democratic House does not care
to accept that proposition, 1t may assume
the responsibility for the failure Of all such
legislation, BY that time the session and
possibly the Congress will be well advanced.
Such plan, added Mr. Morrison, would
place the Democrats Of the House in very
embarrassing position.
The Portland daily press., 1887-12-02
Progressing Rackwards.

The Indiana Christian Advocate has re-
Gently published table showing the gains
and losses of the third party prohlbitionists
in nine recent State elections. The vote of
New York shows a gain of 48,9; Ohio, 1919;
Nebraska, 1900. and Massachusetts, 779. OF
the losses, Kentucky leads with 1883, fol-
lowed by Pennsylvania with 1900, then
New Jersey, $500; Maryland, 1928, and
Iowa, 1905. The total loss of the third party
vote is 1884. Ex-Gov. ST. John has been
fond of declaring to his audiences that the
Prohibitionists would carry the country in
1890. IL he really believed that prediction
these figures must prove very depressing.
They show that the Prohibitionists have
made no marked gain anywhere outside of
New York while their losses in several Of the
States are very noticeable. The present rate
of progress instead Of landing Prohibition
nominee in the White House on the fourth
of March, 1891, will reduce the party before
that time TO such inconsiderable proportions
that nobody will pay much attention to it.
This failure Of the third party to grow
W it'll the rapidity that its leaders hoped for
is due undoubtedly largely to the fact that it
ie becoming daily more and more evident
that there is much more expeditions meth
cd of controlling and eventually suppressing
the rum traffic than through third party, an
agency which necessarily must be slow mas
much as the third party confessedly can ac-
complish nothing in its chosen work until it
has destroyed one Of the old parties and de-
feated the other, something that it could
not do for a great many years to come
had the highest rate of increase which
1t has ever known been maintained. Tenn
perance men have discovered, and it Is be-
ing made palmer to them every day, that
an earnest public sentiment in favor of the
suppression Of the saloon and vigorous
expression Of it are all that are necessary TO
induce one Of the old parties to take up the
question and vigorously pIess it to a wise
solution. There is no need of waiting the
slow process of tearing down the old parties
and building up new one to get the ques
ton Of the suppression Of the liquor traffic
attended to, and so temperance men decide
rot to wait, but to go right to work through
one Of the old parties.
There is perhaps another reason why the
growth Of the third party has disappointed
the expectations Of its friends. With the
prohibtionists it is prohibition or free rum
Now a good many earnest temperance men
Believe that in the present condition OF pub
lie sentiment in many of the States prohibit
ton is impracticable, and that some severe
restrictive measure like high license will
accomplish much more good. These men
will not join party that admits no alterna-
tive to prohibition but free rum. The third
party, therefore, appeals to but portion of
the temperance sentiment of the land. 1t in
yites nobody to join unless he believes that
its method Of meeting the saloon question is
